Why not go get a job?

I'm in the States now, but I'm Canadian so I don't have a work visa. I'm legally blind, so idiot employers in my own country don't want to hire me. If idiots don't want to hire me because I'm legally blind, and they aren't willing to look past my poor eyes to my real talent, they can go kiss off!!! Because of this I'm really not interested in people. MyLot isn't my only "daily activity" I also have a BOOK published!!!!!! Does that qualify as real work?

totally agree with you, People would be very lucky if they earned $20 per month of mylot, Where as a job you would get more than that in a day. I am not on mylot for the money if i was i would of stopped ages ago Iv earned 67c Even if its working part time at a takeaway or cleaning its got to be better that to few $ each month

he he he, I do not think that ANYONE can make a living out of mylot. I have reached payout every month but that does not even cover a busticket over here =) I am just here for fun. I can understand that people sometimes get frustrated but to actually belive that u can become rich here is just a dream =)

I've wondered about this one myself, but a friend of mine started a discussion that changed my mind on the topic completely. There are quite a few people in mylot who are disabled, or are stay-at-home parents that don't really have the option of going out and getting a job. Most of them are doing other online money-making programs as well as mylot, and would kill to have a real work-at-home job that was legitimate. However, since those real work-at-home jobs are few and far between, they're making do with what they can get. I've been out of work because of illness for about two weeks now, and am facing the possibility of having to be out for a while, and it's making me realize how hard that can be. Not just in terms of money, but also in terms of feeling like you are doing something to contribute to your family. It can be really hard to feel like a worthwhile person when there isn't much you can do, and even if it's just making a few pennies a day on a forum, it's nice to feel like I'm doing something other than just sitting here.

fizzy ur correct... i agree with you. i feel some people who doesnt have regular jobs , they might be hoping that they want to earn tru mylot as full time jobers...this is ridiculous i feel..

I do have a casual job, as of yesterday. I did join MyLot for making money, but soon discovered it wasn't a money maker at all, but I do enjoy it. I have 2 small children, one who has not started school yet, so I have been unable to find a job, as I refuse to put him in childcare and let someone else raise him. The job I found, I can take him with me, if my husband is at work, so it's all worked out great! :)

Well, we as humans will never be content with what we have. We always complain and think other people are much better that us. I spend time here on myLot not just because I earn even in cents but I have met lots of wonderful people from around the world here. And I also learn from the discussions and posts of every member here too.

Some people have applied for job after job and still can't get anything. Other people literally can't work because they are unable for some reason or the other. Everyone has different circumstances. I'm sure some people are just lazy and won't go looking for a job, but other people aren't capable of getting one for one reason or another. I fall into the first category.

There's a whole lot of reasons people feel the way you described. *They may have low energy, as though it was drained from them from real-life problems. *People are unemployed and are having a hard time trying to be employed because of the resumes and cover letters, wearing suits, interviews, the complications of finding and landing a job *People are afraid of being fired and losing their source of income *People would rather work at Mylot for low pay rather than be burned out and tired out at a job for high pay People aren't lazy at all. People have specific reasons like these that keeps them from getting a job and rather stay at Mylot.

I don't complain about how much I make or how much I do not make on MyLot. I just enjoy reading and posting. There are probably many reasons why some of these people do not get a job. I am retired. Has it occurred to you that many could be like me retired, others are stay at home Moms raising a family, some of them could be disabled and trying to boost their income a little bit. I am not critcising you for your post - but I don't thnk you really thought about it very much. Rant over - LOL

I agree, myLot in terms of money is for making spare change, something little extra whilst contributing to the community. If you want real money just get a job. In Australia, getting a part time job for something easy and little like a fast-food shop or supermarket would see you earn around $10-15 an hour (rather than a few cents each day).

i agree..im only here for fun..but lets respect them coz others really want to earn here..me, if ever ill get to have a $10 earnings here, i sure will take my pay.. good day :)

hey fizzytom.i don't think you're being rude at all,besides it's just a discussion;) to tell you the truth,i'm not in this for the money(ok maybe half the truth),ok maybe for the money but not entirely.it's for fun.and my previous job only paid me 8 cents for 600 data!it's absurd!but i quit before my first day.hehe.

well, it might become more complicated if you will just sit at your home and wait your luck finding a job. yes, this is such a wonderful opportunity in earning probablr money in just networking throughout the world, but im oly involved here brcause i want to earn money so why should we wont it to try. i think that mylot wanted to create various connections with otherpeople.

that's really true... i never think that mylot will ever pay us enough to make a decent living here... i never think about that... and rather than getting frustruated because mylot doesn't pay enough, i usually just try to enjoy myself here and treat the earnings as an extra income... that way, i will be a happier person here... :-)

you must go for hard work ,i believe that is best of idea

:) quite a fact, if you talk about paying for someone's intelectual creations, the writings and the designing stuff too ( like the banner contest ), the compensation is far far low as compared to the one i can get from desgning these banners for anyone else, thats why i never preffered to participate in this contest coz i dont think that my skills to design one are worth only one dollar, But if you consider the one who otherwise spends a lot of his/her time just chatting over different servers and writing a lotta variable stuff in the form of comments and testimonials in different forums, obviously mylot is a better alternative.. i eman if you do it otherwise whith no return, why not do it at least with some return A job?.. how about the stupid boss's lousy attitude, work pressures , outdoor fatigues and many more things attached to a real job which you dont have to face being at home. Just realise the convineince, u r stiiting in your own room, at ur pc, with no time restrictions and you are infact working, this convinience may compensate the low volume of earnings to some extent But this obviously IS NOT a right alternative for a real job, i dont know how the people manage to earn enough for themselves here atr this place using is as there only source of earnings

what you had said, has got a point? If these guys do really need cash, they should go out and look for a job. Anyway, mylot should be treated as a hobby to pass time.
